I’m a mixed media artist mainly working with acrylic paint and ink. I jump out of planes on weekends for fun, and I believe life begins outside of your comfort zone.

My creative process is very much integrated with my life experiences. The most beautiful sunset I’ve ever seen is from 5000 feet up in the sky, and not from behind a window. Flying free in the open air, viewing the silver lining of clouds from above, is not an experience easily explained in words.
